Elgin Gossalter, BA, PGDip, Ph.D., ND (C).

I started my academic education reading psychology at Oxford, then moved to Paris, where I specialized in applied foreign languages and co-owned and managed 3 language schools for over 10 years. In the early nineties, I left Europe and went to live in Brazil; one of the purposes being the discovery of the wealth of natural healing methods existing in the South American continent. Here I also formalized my acquired knowledge with two Postgraduate Diplomas, one in Methodology and Research and the other in Parapsychology and Mental Sciences. I then concluded my Ph.D. in Clinical Hypnotherapy, and now devote my study time to finishing my second doctorate, this one in the field of Naturopathy (ND) while continuing professionally active, both in my private hypnotherapy practice and in language tuition.

My special interests of research lie in the Mind-Body relation and neuroscience in general. This year my first book, “An ABC of Pain” will be published. Apart from detailing pain pathways and pain physiology, the book repeatedly highlights the necessity of an integrative approach to medicine and, for that matter, all human ailments.

I love my interactions with my students and am all too happy to be there for them with the intent of making the learning experience unique and unforgettable.
